How to get recommended and booked by AI agents.
Ask, and they shall book.
People now ask ChatGPT and other AI agents the questions they used to type into a search box, in far more detail, and they expect an answer they can act on. An AI agent recommends the few places it can check against that question, and books the ones it can reach.
Plain answers to the questions owners ask about ChatGPT and other AI agents: why they leave a business out, how they choose, and what it takes for a guest to book with you through them.

How do I get my hotel or B&B recommended by ChatGPT?
ChatGPT and other AI agents recommend the hotels they can match against every part of a guest's question, including the rate for those exact nights. Give them conditions they can tick and live rates from your own system, and you stop depending on someone else's listing to speak for you.
How do I get my holiday let found and booked through ChatGPT?
AI agents put forward the holiday lets they can match to a guest's dates and rules, not only their wish list. Make your changeover day, minimum stay and extra charges readable from your own booking system, and an agent can offer a booking with you directly, alongside your platform listings.
Why does ChatGPT send guests to Booking.com instead of me?
Because an AI agent sends the guest down the route it can check from start to finish, and for most independent hotels that is currently a booking site's listing. The big sites can say whether a room is free on those dates, what it costs and how to book it; most hotels' own websites can't yet.
Can ChatGPT book a room or a table at my place?
Sometimes, depending on which booking system you use and which route an AI agent can reach. Through a platform's app it often can; directly with you, only when your own booking system can share live availability and accept the booking.
How do I get my restaurant recommended by ChatGPT?
Diners now ask for a time, a party size and what everyone can eat, and an AI agent recommends the restaurants it can check against all three. The menu and the rules are facts you write once; the table at half seven is a live fact only your booking system holds.
How do I check what ChatGPT says about my business?
Put a customer's real question to ChatGPT and one other AI agent, rather than typing your business name, and read the answer as evidence. You'll get nothing, something wrong, or something right today but fragile, and each tells you something different about what to do next.
Is "AI SEO" or GEO worth paying for?
It can be, for the part it covers: helping an AI agent find your business and describe it accurately. Making your live prices and availability bookable is a different job, and nobody can guarantee you a place in an AI answer.
Being found is good.
Being bought is better.
Being named in an answer is only the start. The businesses an agent can buy from have clear facts, live terms and a route to complete the sale without waiting for someone to reply.
Selfe puts that record and those controls around the systems you already run, so an agent can find the right offer, check it and act on your terms.
